Wanted - 18 photographers for the 2014 Folio Exchange - You must send me a personal message - please.
I am announcing this a little earlier than in years past so everyone has just a bit more time to get going on this. This will be the fourth one and it is something I hope to continue.
PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE SIGNING UP.
1. Paper size is 11x14. The image should have at least one inch of border surrounding it. (An 8x10 size works nicely, but as long as there is a one inch border, no problem.)
2. Photos can be digital or analog.
3. Color or black and white - vertical or horizontal.
4. Photos should either be signed on the front, or have a title on the front. This is so when I put the folios together and write up the info sheet, it is easier to follow along if the title or photographer's name is on the front. However, this certainly is not a deal breaker. (Please do not sign using ball point pen.) Also, no mounted photos.
5. Included with your 18 prints (assuming 18 participants) should be a short bio, info about the photo including technical info, where it was taken, title, camera/lens used, etc.. I will go into more detail on this at a later time. I only need one sheet with this info.
6. All photos need to be shipped to me in Wisconsin. Please make sure they are very well packaged with some padding around the prints. Do not just stick them in an envelope and mail.
7. You will get billed for shipping plus $5 to help defray the cost of the folio and shipping and other printing supplies. I hope that is acceptable to everyone. I take care of putting everything together. I think the past participants have been very happy with the results.
8. Almost forgot, the subject matter - the subject matter will be titled Rust and Relics. So this can include anything rusty, old wood, cars, buildings etc. I would like to make this folio more about man made objects as opposed to natural objects. I would also like to keep human figures out of the equation, in other words, no old weathered faces.
I can't think of anything else at the moment. I am getting ready to head back east to visit my 87 year old mother from about Dec. 1 through Dec. 27 but I will be checking my email and this forum. So, please PM me and fill up the places. I'll be checking my email as I travel. Photos will need to be delivered to me by March 1. I think I have covered everything for now. But if you have any questions, please ask.
Just a quick note - this is certainly open to participants outside the US. Please be aware that return shipping is expensive - upwards of $50 and more for our overseas participants.
Thanks, Jim Becia
